Partition Function Zeros and Finite Size Scaling of Helix-Coil Transitions in a Polypeptide
arXiv:cond-mat/0002098 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.84.1836
Abstract
We report on multicanonical simulations of the helix-coil transition of a polypeptide. The nature of this transition was studied by calculating partition function zeros and the finite-size scaling of various quantities. Estimates for critical exponents are presented.
